Sarvagya Welfare Foundation

Our office is Shop No 29 in Empire Square, right across from Umrakh College in Bardoli. Being so close to the college means there are always students around, which keeps the area feeling pretty lively. We’re in the Baben part of Bardoli, Surat, and the 394602 area is quite easy to navigate. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be careful about how we use the space. We’ve got a few chairs for visitors and some desks pushed against the walls. It’s a bit crowded when everyone is in at the same time, but we make it work. Usually, we leave the door open to let some air in, though that means we hear everything happening in the square. We spend a lot of our time dealing with paperwork and talking to the locals who walk past. It’s a friendly neighborhood, and we’ve become a part of the daily routine for some of the folks around here. We don't have a fancy reception area or anything like that. When you walk in, you’re pretty much in the middle of everything we’re doing. It’s honest work, and we don't try to make it seem like more than it is. Some days are slow and we just sit and chat, while other days we’re running around trying to keep up with everything. It’s just how life goes here in Bardoli, and we’re happy to be a part of it.
